Gattis, of course, caught the interest of most during the season..would be an interesting piece to have off the bench...if he continues to smash of course. Got to love them power options off the bench..

Really hope these 2 gets a chance to prove themselves in Spring Training...

Gattis' first four games he is batting a cool .313 with a 1.056 OPS. While Mejia is batting .333 with a .982 OPS

Ahmed (played in 3 Games) has a .462 BA and a 1.159 OPS
Spruill who made a start on the 10th gave up an unearned run on 2 hits while striking out 3 over 2.1 innings of work
Rasmus who is working out of the BP has appeared in 2 games (throwing 1 IP in each) which he has struck out 4, walked 1, allowed 2 hits and 1 ER.

Kennelly who didn't hit much this year in the minors is batting .111 with a .311 OPS
Salcedo has one hit in 5 games which brings hit to a .050 BA and a .195 OPS
Jones who has pitched 2 games out of the BP has thrown a total of 2.2 innings while striking out 3, walking 3, allowing 3 hits and 2 ER.

*this is through the first 6 games of a 32 game season.

To be honest, I'd rather see him go back to the minors in the hopes that he continues to hit and develop. If he keeps hitting the way he's been hitting, he could be far more than just a bench player.

It'll be interesting to see if the Braves protect Mejia from minor-league free agency. They're going to have a ton of open space on the 40-man roster, and if Mejia isn't added to the roster in the next couple of weeks, he has enough service time to become a free agent.

Thanks for the update. Just as a note to everyone, though, these guys are facing very hit-or-miss competition in the VWL. I know you were just stating the facts, and it's certainly better to see them mashing than not mashing...but as a word of caution, this isn't really anything to get excited about.

I hope Gattis makes the team. I believe if they let him try a first base mitt on he could also spell FF at first occasionally. A huge utility player (size wise) LF, C and 1B. As someone already mentioned could allow them to let Ross pinch hit as well. Would be a plus for all aspects of our team.
